JavaScript addicts

As opposed to my slide, where I didn’t show anything about macros, I do use macros. I just honestly forgot about it, even though it was my very first blog entry here on our blog.

What dojo really is

The first talk I’ve visited was held by Florian Müller. He was comparing the AJAX (JavaScript) approach with Rich-Client technologies like Flex and Java applets. He dived into a product called CaptainCasa (afair) and showed, how it is possible to debug front- and backend code all within the eclipse IDE. This was really impressive and I would be happy if we would have this comfort within the AJAX/JavaScript world. (more…)

Just in time for the Ajax in Action (http://www.ajaxinaction.de) we have launched the uxebu twitter feed.
Subscribe to it if you are interested in hearing what is going on in Europe, what we are doing at uxebu and what we think is worth tweeting :)

Come, send us a tweet at http://www.twitter.com/uxebu

Just one week to go and we are glad that all three of us will make it to the Ajax in Action 2008 in Mainz (Germany). So if you like to contact us, meet in person or just have a chat (besides the virtual reality) let’s do it. If you are interested in JavaScript as we are, want to have an in depth dojo discussion, feel like you need to know more about dojango or just would like to talk AJAX with us, do it! We are looking forward to it.
Of course we will have some stuff to share, we are going to hold four talks RIA/UI development with Dojo, Adobe AIR and Dojo, bringing the web to the desktop from Nikolai and Architectures for scaling AJAX apps and Efficient AJAX/JavaScript Development from me.

Finally the Dojo Foundation Web Site, a joined work of people from SitePen and uxebu, has launched. The main purpose of the site is explaining the intention of the Dojo Foundation, decluttering the Foundation from the Dojo Toolkit and giving all the other interesting projects under the hood of the Dojo Foundation a corporate presentation location.

You can visit the site, that was build on top of dojango (wohooo) at http://dojofoundation.org.

It was great to work together with the people of SitePen and I hope there will be more things in the future where we can join our forces.

Now it’s almost a week ago, and I still haven’t written the more in depth article about the BarCamp Munich 2008, here it comes. As I have already said, the organization was great, first and foremost the people behind it, thanks a lot. But also Sun who provided the location and last but not least all participants. I will be there next year again, I am sure!

The Cross-Browser Window Focus Blues

I gave two talks at the BarCamp Munich, last weekend (actually I was there only on Saturday). First and foremost I have to thank the people who have organized the BarCamp, it was great! I liked especially that there were enough tracks in parallel to choose a session from. I didn’t know how much tech stuff people would want to hear, but it seems there had been enough techies. Good for me, because that made me able to give two sessions.

Three days ago on Sunday, we - the uxebu team (Wolfram Kriesing, Tobias von Klipstein and Nikolai Onken) - came back from Boston, where we had spent an awesome week with the Dojo folks at the Dojo developer day (DDD) and later at the Ajax Experience 2008.
We had rented an apartment together with Peter Higgins (SitePen, Dojo Lead) and stayed there from September 26th until October 4th.
